Georgia vs. South Carolina Prediction

I’m with South Carolina here. I think a bit of a letdown is in store for Georgia here, after a pair of huge wins that would really help their NCAA tournament resume we saw Arkansas in this same spot in their last game and the Gamecocks took the Razorbacks out. South Carolina’s been far more competitive at home this season despite a not-so-great record, and I think the Gamecocks battle Georgia tough and potentially win another game outright here. Give me South Carolina in this one.
